Guidelines on Health and Wellbeing

For young people, volunteering in the field of sports can become a powerful way to improve their health and well-being while connecting with their peers. The following guidelines have been designed to support ESN Member Organisations, both on the Local and National levels, to create activities that are inclusive, impactful, and tailored to the needs of diverse groups, especially youth and international students.
 

As they focus on inclusion and well-being, these guidelines showcase practical ways to design sports activities that are both accessible and meaningful. They also highlight how volunteering can become a tool for building strong communities and fostering personal growth.

The document is built around three key questions:

• How can we make sports activities welcoming and inclusive?
• How can we prioritise health and well-being in these activities?
• How can we promote volunteering as a tool for health and well-being?

Make sure to check the guidelines below to design inclusive and impactful activities.
